The party took an air skiff to the far side of a swamp from which they traveled for an hour on foot in order to avoid detection.

After Amaris cast Sending to a former ally, the party felt more confident that Alkir could be trusted with the item. The party accepted their payment and gave the artifact to Alkir who then disappeared by using a Plane Shift spell. | ||
